Bodyguard punches old man for getting too close to president

In a trending video, a bodyguard of the Ghanaian president, Nana Akufo-Addo, was seen punching an elderly man, who was approaching the vehicle of the president.

The man was seen running towards the convoy of the president with his hand outstretched as though aiming for a handshake from Akufo-Addo. However, he was met with a feisty blow by the security guard, reports Adomonline.

The man landed flatly on the ground before he was helped back to his feet by observers.

It is unclear where this incident happened but the video suggests it took place on one of the nationwide tours by the President.

The President has been on a nationwide tour since June, visiting the Volta, Brong Ahafo and the Western Regions.
